desecration of figure 8

only a masterpiece can be painted over

so many times

until it fully becomes not its self

until it fully becomes desecrated beyond repair.

the is the desecration of figure 8.

time to go.

bye.

Silverlake

once the Camelot

of culture

now anyone walks around

in their own grandeur

pretending they walk above all.

This is how we reached

the desecration of figure 8.

Scribbling words and symbols

with no value

with no weight.

nothing to show.

the easy way out.

The songs of silverlake

were once a mentor to me

from the strung of the guitar

to the heartfelt poetry

now it is only covered by walls

of deceit

of desolation

where everything means nothing to me.

Such a traduce

people try to project

believing individuality and independence

will conquer all

but only now under these walls

exist faded color bars.

I amongst others

lament to the desecration of figure 8.

only thing remains are

pictures of me.

Though now

a decade has passed

since that fateful knife pierced the heart.

The accolade of LA

breaks through the graffiti

for it is song

which ascends beyond

the desecration of figure 8.

still after the storms

you are there the morning after.
